6-Speed Automatic Transmission

09G/09M

The Japanese automatic transmissionmanufacturer AISIN Co., LTD is thedeveloper and manufacturer of the 09Gtransmission. Volkswagen engineersdeveloped the transmission in conjunctionwith Aisin and adapted it to Volkswagenvehicles.

The 09G/09M 6-speed automatictransmission is installed in the followingVolkswagen vehicles:

• The size of the torque converter

• The torque converter characteristiccurve of the torque boost (conversionfactor or conversion boost)

• The selector lever

• The ignition key removal lock

Maximum Torque Transfer Vehicles

The transmission is adapted for use withdifferent engines and vehicles by varying:

• The number of disc pairs for clutchesand brakes

• The adaptation of the ATF pressure onthe clutches and brakes

• The configuration of gear pairs,planetary gear sets (e. g. four instead ofthree planetary gears), shafts andbearings

• The reinforcement of housingcomponents

• The ratio of the final drive and theintermediate drive

The transmission sets new standards fordynamics and efficiency in the diagonallyinstalled, conventional stepped automatictransmission segment through:

• Low weight

• High overall transmission ratio spread

• Compact dimensions of thetransmission

• High speed of shifting

• High level of shifting comfort

The same manufacturer makes the 6-speedautomatic transmission in the VolkswagenTouareg designated 09D. Both automatictransmissions from AISIN use a Lepelletierarrangement.

The advantage of this Lepelletierarrangement is its simple, space-saving andlightweight design. It combines a simpleplanetary gear set with a subsequentRavigneaux arrangement. This makes sixspeeds possible with only five shiftingelements.

Technical Data

Depending on engine type, overall ratio is configured as 5+E transmission or as 6-speedtransmission.

For the 5+E transmission, the highest speed is reached in 5th gear. The 6th gear reducesengine speed, improves driving comfort and reduces fuel consumption:

For the 6-speed transmission configuration, the highest speed is reached in 6th gear. The 6thgear lowers transmission gear ratio and increases driving dynamics.

Selector Lever Design in 2005 Jetta

The selector lever activates the Multi-Function Transmission Range (TR) SwitchF125 via the selector lever linkage.Mechanical movement of the linkage isconverted by the Multi-Function TransmissionRange (TR) Switch F125 into electricalsignals corresponding to the selector leverposition. The electrical signals are sent overanalog wires to the Transmission ControlModule (TCM) J217.

Planetary Gear/Shifting Elements

The planetary gear set is a Lepelletierdesign. The engine torque first drives asimple planetary gear set. From the simpleplanetary gear set, it is transferred to aRavigneaux double planetary gear set.

Multi-disc clutches K1 and K3 and multi-discbrake B1 are located on the simple planetarygear set. The number of planetary gearsdepends on the transmission's torquetransfer.

Multi-disc clutch K2 and multi-disc brake B2,as well as freewheel F, are located on thedouble planetary gear set.

The clutches achieve a control behavior thatis independent of engine speed throughtheir dynamic pressure equalization. Theclutches K1, K2 and K3 pass the enginetorque into the planetary gear. The brakes B1and B2 and the freewheel support theengine torque at the transmission housing.All clutches and brakes are indirectlycontrolled by the electrical pressure controlvalves.

Freewheel F is a mechanical shifting element.It is arranged in parallel with brake B2.

Torque Converter

The hydro-mechanical torque converter serves as a starting element and increases torque inthe conversion range. There is a torque converter lock-up clutch integrated into the torqueconverter.

Transmission Design

Ring Gear

Groove

Torque ConverterLock-up Clutch

ATF PumpDrive

Torque ConverterHubThe starter ring gear is welded onto the

torque converter housing and is part of thetorque converter. This helps ensure acompact transmission design.

The torque converter is supported by thetransmission at the converter hub via afriction bearing.

The ATF pump is driven via the notches inthe torque converter hub.

This torque converter can be used indifferent engine applications by adapting theinternal components.

Torque Converter Lock-Up Clutch

Design

The torque converter is equipped with atorque converter lock-up clutch withintegrated torsion dampers.

The torsion dampers reduce torsionvibrations when the torque converter lock-upclutch is closed. This greatly expands therange in which the torque converter lock-upclutch can be closed.

There are three basic states:

• Torque converter lock-up clutch open

• Torque converter lock-up clutchregulated operation

• Torque converter lock-up clutch closed

During normal driving operation, the torqueconverter lock-up clutch can be closed ineach gear.

Operating Ranges of the Torque ConverterLock-Up Clutch

Depending on driving mode, engine load,and vehicle speed the torque converter lock-up clutch is first regulated with minimal slipand subsequently completely closed.

During regulated operation, fuelconsumption is reduced compared to anopen torque converter lock-up clutch (TCC)and drive comfort is improved compared to aclosed torque converter lock-up clutch.

Using Tiptronic in “S” mode, the torqueconverter lock-up clutch is closed as soon aspossible. The direct power connectionbetween engine and transmission improvesthe sporty driving feel.

In a climbing mode, the torque converterlock-up clutch closes in 2nd gear.

When ATF temperature is above 130 °C, thetorque converter lock-up clutch is no longerregulated, but instead is closed quickly.

This helps the ATF maintain a lower thermalload and cools it down.

ATF Supply/Lubrication

ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid)

The high standards regarding shifting quality,reliability, and ease of maintenance place thehighest demand on the ATF.

The ATF influences the friction coefficient ofthe clutches and the brakes.

The ATF is developed along with the designand testing of the transmission. It isnecessary that only ATF with the correctdesignation be used for this transmission.The correct ATF is necessary for efficienttransmission function.

The planetary gear, final drive, anddifferential have a common ATF supply.

ATF Pump

One of the most important components ofan automatic transmission is the ATF pump.Without a sufficient ATF supply, thetransmission cannot work efficiently.

The ATF pump is an internal tooth gearpump (duo-centric pump).

The pump is characterized by low frictionand light weight.

It is driven directly by the engine (engineRPM) via the torque converter housing andthe converter hub. The pinion drivers engagewith two torque converter hub notches. Theconverter hub is supported by the pumphousing via a friction or needle bearing.

Transmission Design

When mounting the torqueconverter and before installing thetransmission, it is important tomake sure that the ATF pumpdrivers engage correctly in theconverter hub grooves.

ATF Cooling

The ATF is cooled by an ATF heat exchangerthat is flanged directly on the transmissionand is integrated in the engine coolantcircuit. Because of this, the ATF circuitremains closed and requires no additionalATF lines.

The “closed ATF circuit” simplifies filling andchecking the ATF level. Disconnecting theATF lines is not required when removing andinstalling the transmission.

Park Lock

The park lock secures the parked vehiclefrom rolling away. It is mechanically operatedby the selector lever via the selector levercable, the selector shaft, and a linkage withpin and compression spring.

The park lock wheel is integral with thedriven gear of the intermediate shaft. Itsimultaneously serves as the sensor wheelfor the Transmission Output Speed (RPM)Sensor G195.

The locking pawl engages in the teeth of thepark lock wheel to lock the final drive. Thereis an adjustment/equalization of the wheelsthe axle is partially raised.

Securing against rolling away for a partiallyraised front axle (e.g., when changing tiresusing the car jack) is not possible. It isimperative to use the parking brake.

When on a steep incline, the parking brakeshould be used before engaging the selectorlever position “P” to protect the selectorlever cable and to ease the operation of theselector lever.

Tension between the locking pawl and thepark lock wheel is thus prevented. Whendriving away, the selector lever must first beshifted out of “P” and the parking brakemust be released next.

Hydraulic Control

Valve Body

The clutches and brakes (shifting elements)are controlled by the valve body via hydraulicvalves. These valves are activated bysolenoid valves that in turn are activated bythe Transmission Control Module (TCM) J217.

In addition to the shifting elements, thevalve body controls the torque converterlock-up clutch and the ATF pressure in thetransmission (e.g., main pressure, controlpressure, converter pressure, and lubricationpressure).

The valve body contains the followingcomponents:

• The mechanically operated selectorvalve.

• The hydraulically controlled solenoidvalves.

• Six electrically controlled pressurecontrol valves.

• The Transmission Fluid TemperatureSensor G93.

The turbine shaft drives the internal gear H1of the simple planetary gear set. The internalgear drives the planetary gears P1 that meshwith the supporting stationary sun gear.Planet carrier PT1 is driven through this.

Clutch K1 is closed; the torque is thustransferred to sun gear S3 of the doubleplanetary gear set.

The long planetary gears transfer the torqueto the internal gear H2. The internal gear isdirectly connected to the output toothedgear. The planet carrier PT2 rests on thefreewheel F.

Because 1st gear is engaged using thefreewheel, the power transfer in 1st geardeceleration mode is nullified. The gears drivein deceleration mode. Freewheel F turnsaway from its locking direction (in freewheeldirection); engine braking cannot be used.

The torque flow corresponds to the flow asdescribed for 1st gear.

The use of engine braking in 1st gear canonly be enabled by engaging brake B2.

Brake B2 locks planetary carrier PT2 like thefreewheel F. Unlike freewheel F, however,brake B2 secures planet carrier PT2 in bothrotation directions. This is necessary forreverse and also for engine braking in 1st

Dynamic Shifting Program DSP

This automatic transmission has the latestgeneration Dynamic Shifting Program DSP.

The driving conditions, as well as forexample the driving resistance (e.g.,climbing), the road profile (e.g., curve), andthe driver type (manner of driving) areevaluated.

The basic parameters for the calculation ofthe gear selection have not fundamentallychanged compared to previous automatictransmissions. Due to the constantlyincreasing integration of the transmissioncontrol with other vehicle systems, such asthe engine, ESP, or the steering anglesensor, a large amount of information isavailable to better define the current drivingconditions and the driving manner.

Sport Mode “S”

A performance-oriented shifting program isavailable to the driver in selector leverposition “S”.

If the Transmission Control Module (TCM)J217 recognizes the selector lever position“S”, the shifting characteristic curves arereallocated to higher engine speeds. Thisincreases the driving dynamic.

The DSP also adapts to driver input (drivertype evaluation) and driving situations in “S”position.

The “S” mode contains the followingcharacteristics:

• If the selector lever is placed in “S”while driving with an unchangingaccelerator pedal position, a downshiftoccurs within defined limits.

• To achieve a more direct driving reactionto the movements of the acceleratorpedal, the torque converter lock-upclutch closes as soon as possible.

If 6th gear is designed as the E-gear for theoverall transmission ratio, only gears 1through 5 are used.

Transmission Control

36

Emergency Running Mode

In mechanical emergency running mode, 3rd

gear is always engaged in driving operationup to 3rd gear.

If the transmission is already in 4th, 5th, or6th gear, the current gear is maintained untilthe selector lever is put into neutral positionor the engine is stopped.

When starting off, 3rd gear is alwaysengaged in selector lever position “D”or “S”.

Reverse gear is available (R-gear locking isnot active).

Towing

When towing, the ATF pump is notoperated, and therefore rotating componentsare not lubricated.

To avoid severe damage to the transmission,the following conditions must be metwithout fail:

• The selector lever must be in “N”position.

• Towing speed must not exceed 31 mph(50 km/h).

- • Vehicle must not be towed farther than31 miles (50 km).

For Jetta and Passat, if the battery isdisconnected or discharged, the selectorlever emergency release must be operatedto shift the selector lever out of “P” into “N”.

System pressure is controlled to themaximum value; the shifting elements arethus pressurized to maximum shiftingpressure. This results in hard shift buckingwhen engaging the driving mode.

The torque converter lock-up clutch remainsopen.

Transmission Control

Starter Interlock, Back-up Light

The starter interlock (control of starter terminal 50) and back-up light control functions arecontrolled by the Vehicle Electrical System Control Module J519. The starter interlockprevents engine start if the selector lever is in a driving position.

Transmission Control

Engine Start - 2005 Jetta

If the selector lever is in “P” or “N”positions, the Vehicle Electrical SystemControl Module J519 receives a signal fromthe Multi-Function Transmission Range (TR)Switch F125. The Vehicle Electrical SystemControl Module J519 activates the PowerSupply Relay (terminal 50) J682 after thesignal. The relay activates and suppliesterminal 50 of the starter with voltage.

Back-up Light

The information “reverse gear” is initiallytransmitted to the Transmission ControlModule (TCM) J217 by the Multi-FunctionTransmission Range (TR) Switch F125. TheTransmission Control Module (TCM) J217stores this information on the powertrainCAN. By means of the Data Bus On BoardDiagnostic Interface J533, the informationarrives via the Comfort CAN at the VehicleElectrical System Control Module J519,which activates the back-up lights.

• One switch for position “P” and “N”for start control.

• One switch for reverse Back-UpSwitch F41.

Effects of Signal Failure

As long as the difference between forwardand reverse gears can be determined, thereare no effects on the shifting program. If thereverse gear signal is faulty, the transmissionenters the emergency running mode.

Transmission Control

Signal Utilization

The Transmission Control Module (TCM)J217 triggers the automatic shifting programcorresponding to the position of the multi-function switch and controls the followingfunctions:

• Starter interlock

• Back-up lights

• Selector lever lock P/N

The Transmission Control Module (TCM)J217 stores the current selector leverposition on the CAN bus for the use of othercontrol modules.

The multi-function switch must beadjusted if:

• It was replaced.

• A new transmission wasinstalled.

• The gear indicator in theinstrument panel displaysincorrectly.

Transmission Input Speed (RPM)Sensor G182

The Transmission Input Speed (RPM) SensorG182 records the transmission input RPM atthe outer disc carrier of clutch K2.

It works according to the Hall principle.

Signal Utilization

The Transmission Control Module (TCM)J217 requires accurate input RPM for thefollowing functions:

• Control, adaptation, and monitoring ofgear shifting.

• Regulation and monitoring of torqueconverter lock-up clutch.

• Diagnostic of the shifting elements andplausibility checking of engine RPM andtransmission output RPM.

Effects of Signal Failure

The torque converter lock-up clutch isclosed. Engine RPM is used as replacementRPM.

Signal Utilization

Transmission output RPM is one of the mostimportant signals for the electronictransmission control. It occurs in proportionto driving speed and is required for thefollowing functions:

• Selection of the shifting points

• Functions of the Dynamic ShiftingProgram DSP (e.g., driving conditionevaluation)

• Diagnostic of the shifting elements andplausibility checking of the engine andturbine RPM

Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor G93

The Transmission Fluid Temperature SensorG93 is located inside the valve bodyimmersed in the ATF. It measures ATFtemperature and transmits it to theTransmission Control Module (TCM) J217.

Effects of Signal Failure

• A replacement value is created from theengine temperature and the operatingduration.

• No regulated operation of the torqueconverter lock-up clutch (only open orclosed).

• No adaptation of the shifting pressures(which typically leads to harder shifting).

Signal Utilization

The ATF temperature is required for thefollowing functions:

• To adapt the shifting pressure (systempressure) as well as the pressure build-up and release during shifting.

• To activate or deactivate temperature-dependent functions (warm-up program,torque converter lock-up clutch, etc.).

• To activate transmission protectivemeasures at high ATF temperatures(Hot mode).

The Transmission Fluid Temperature SensorG93 is secured by a mounting plate. It ispart of the line assembly and works as athermal resistor.

With increasing temperature, the electricalresistance decreases.

Transmission Protection Measures

To protect against overheating thetransmission, countermeasures are triggeredwhen defined ATF temperatures areexceeded:

Countermeasure 1 (approx. 127 °C):

Using the DSP function, the shiftingcharacteristic curves are shifted to higherRPMs. The torque converter lock-up clutch isclosed earlier and is no longer regulated.

Countermeasure 2 (approx. 150 °C):

Engine torque is reduced.

Tiptronic Switch F189

The Tiptronic switch is located in the circuitboard on the selector lever.

The selector lever positions:

• Selector lever in the Tiptronic gate

• Tip +

• Tip -

are recognized by the camshaft positionsensors (2005 Jetta).

The signals are sent over an analog wire tothe Transmission Control Module (TCM) J217.

Signal Utilization

Based on the signal from the Tiptronicswitch, the Transmission Control Module(TCM) J217 shifts a gear “up” or “down”,depending on operation.

Effects of Signal Failure

If the switch fails or if a wire is faulty,Tiptronic mode is no longer available.

Tiptronic Upshift Button (on SteeringWheel) E438 and Tiptronic DownshiftButton (on Steering Wheel) E439

These optional buttons are found on thesteering wheel on the right and left.Upshifting and downshifting occurs byoperating the buttons.

The shift signals go directly to theTransmission Control Module (TCM) J217.

Signal Utilization

In Tiptronic mode, shifting can also occurusing these buttons.

If the Tiptronic buttons on the steering wheelare operated in automatic mode, thetransmission control enters Tiptronic mode. Ifthe Tiptronic buttons are then not operated,the transmission control returns to automaticmode after the expiration of a clock timer.

Effect of Signal Failure

In case of a signal failure, no Tiptronicfunctions are possible using the steeringwheel buttons.

Tiptronic Shifting Strategy

• Automatic upshifting when themaximum RPM is reached.

• Automatic downshifting when the RPMsfall below the minimum RPM.

• Kick down downshifting.

• Acceleration from standstill in secondgear by selecting 2nd gear beforeaccelerating.

• Upshift prevention or downshiftprevention.

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor G79 andAccelerator Pedal Position Sensor 2 G185

The sensors are located in an acceleratorpedal module on the pedal cluster.

Kick Down Information

A separate switch is not used for kick downinformation. There is a power element on theaccelerator pedal in place of a compressionbuffer (for manual transmissions). The powerelement generates a “mechanical pressurepoint” that provides the “kick down feeling”to the driver. If the driver activates kickdown, the Wide Open Throttle (WOT) voltagevalue of Throttle Position (TP) Sensor G79and Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 2G185 is exceeded.

If a voltage value defined in the MotronicEngine Control Module (ECM) J220 isreached in doing so, this is interpreted askick down by the ECM and is transmitted viathe powertrain CAN to the TransmissionControl Module (TCM) J217. The kick downshifting point can only be tested using thediagnostic tester.

Actuators

In the electronically controlled automatictransmission, solenoid valves are used aselectrohydraulic shifting elements. There is adifference between solenoid valves (on/offvalves) and electrical pressure control valves(designated as modulation valves or also asmetering solenoid valves).

Solenoid Valves

Solenoid Valve 1 N88

Solenoid Valve 1 N88 works as an on/offsolenoid valve and opens or closes an ATFchannel. Solenoid Valve 1 N88 is on andopen in gears 4 through 6. Additionally,shifting from 5th to 6th gear is improved viathe solenoid valve. Without current, thesolenoid valve is closed.

Effect of Signal or Actuator Failure

It is no longer possible to shift into gears 4through 6.

Solenoid Valve 2 N89

Solenoid Valve 2 N89 works as an on/offsolenoid valve and opens or closes an ATFchannel. When Solenoid Valve 2 N89 is onand open, ATF pressure on the torqueconverter lock-up clutch is increased.

If Solenoid Valve 1 N88 and Solenoid Valve 2N89 are simultaneously opened, brake B2closes and in 1st gear in Tiptronic mode,“engine braking” is active.

The valve is closed with no current present.

Effect of Signal Failure

If the signal to Solenoid Valve 1 N89 fails,the torque converter lock-up clutch can nolonger be pressurized to the maximum ATFpressure and “engine braking” is notpossible.

Diagnostic

The VAS 5051 Vehicle Diagnosis, Test andInformation System and the VAS 5052Vehicle Diagnosis, Test and InformationSystem are available for diagnostics.

The VAS 5051 Vehicle Diagnosis, Test andInformation System has the operatingmodes:

• Guided Fault Finding

• Guided Functions

• Vehicle Self-diagnostic

• OBD (On-Board Diagnostic)

• Measurement

The “Guided Fault Finding” operatingmode performs a vehicle-specific check of allinstalled control modules for malfunctionentries and automatically compiles a systemtest plan from the results.

Together with the service information suchas wiring diagrams or repair manuals, thisleads systematically to the malfunctioncause.

Independently of this, it is possible toassemble a custom test plan. Via thefunction and component selection, theselected tests are incorporated into the testplan and can be executed in desiredsequence for additional diagnosticprocedures.

The “Vehicle Self-diagnostic” operatingmode can still be used, but no serviceinformation is available.

The “Guided Functions” operating mode caneasily be used for everyday service functionssuch as the adaptation of vehicle keys.

Spread In the context of transmissions as the subject under discussion, spread isdefined as the “gear ratio range” of a transmission. The spread is ratio betweenthe gear ratio in 1st gear and in 6th gear (highest gear). The value of the spreadis obtained by dividing the ratio of the 1st gear by that of the highest gear(here, 6th gear).

Using the 09G transmission as an example:

1st gear 4.148

6th gear 0.686 4.148 : 0.686 = 6.05 (value rounded up)

Advantages of a large spread are:

In addition to a high acceleration ratio (for high traction), a low end ratio can beachieved. This last provides for an RPM reduction, which in turn decreases thenoise level and enables a low fuel consumption.

A large spread requires a corresponding number of gears so that the RPMdifferences when shifting gears (gear transitions) are not too great. Whenshifting, the engine should not enter into low torque RPM ranges that wouldmake acceleration difficult or impossible.

TiptronicShiftingStrategy Acceleration from standstill occurs normally in 1st gear.

It is possible to accelerate from standstill in second gear by upshifting intosecond gear before accelerating (using steering wheel Tiptronic or selectorlever). This facilitates acceleration from standstill when road traction is low,e.g., for winter street conditions.

In addition to allowing the manual shifting of gears, the Tiptronic function isnecessary, for example, to make use of engine braking. By dispensing withpositions 4, 3, 2 (new selector lever shift gate with positions “D” and “S”), adesired upshift prevention must be selected using the Tiptronic function (shiftselector lever into the Tiptronic gate).
